Thanks for your suggestion. I will indeed implement this.
I'll also make it configurable whether the preview window is shown embedded in
Kile or in a separate window. This should suit everyone's taste :)

Sorry, but can you please post this in the Ubuntu bug tracker? Apparently,
Ubuntu tries to do unusual stuff to the menu bar, and this might just be
another consequence of this.
I'd like to let the Ubuntu people investigate this first.
Thanks,

Hello,
[Reproducing part of my question from
http://askubuntu.com/questions/82727/kile-does-not-get-keyboard-input-respond-to-altf]:
I use Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome 3 and Unity. In either case, I use two KDE
apps a lot - kile and kate. Since the latest upgrade, I have observed two
problems:
a] I can never use Alt+F to select the file menu (works with other apps),
yet when I press Alt, kile's menu comes up in the status bar.
b] A few times every day, while using kile (haven't used kate as much
recently), the keyboard stops responding (just in the 'editor' portion,
rather than in structure-tree navigation). I cannot enter any text, but
mouse works fine. I usually restart kile to continue working.
One inconsistent way to reproduce it (multiple times today):
-
I cut text from one open document using Ctrl-X
-
switched to another document in the same kile window using Ctrl-Tab,
then this happened.
How do I fix the above?

Hi Kile team,
First, I would like to thank the team for the continuing effort to support
and improve this great Latex editor. I am very
excited about the live-previewing feature. There is one small thing thing
I would like to suggest. According to the
screenshot (of the live preview feature), the log window seems to run over
to the preview section, which is quite
unnecessary. Moreover it takes up preview estate. Is it possible to
confine that log window to just the left side of
the Kile window (the part under the textbox/editor)?
Thanks a lot. I hope that you consider this.
Best Regards,
Quoc

Hi,
I'd like to introduce a user-defined menu to Kile.
This is new, early beta stuff that I want to put out for comments.
As there are so many different configurations, settings and a lot of options
to create really crazy-looking user-defined menus, I can't test them all by
myself. So I would feel happy about each bug report, suggestions or whatever
you think is important.
For compiling this version of Kile, I have attached some compilation
instructions.
If you want to install a local version of Kile without affecting your current
installation, it is recommended to create a new directory, say 'kile-
usermenu'. Then download the source code by cloning Kile's repository and by
checking out the appropriate branch:
---begin---
cd ~
mkdir -p kile-usermenu/src
cd kile-usermenu/src
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kile -b usermenu
---end---
Then create a build directory, configure the build system, compile and install
this version of Kile:
---begin---
cd ..
mkdir build-kile
cd build-kile
cmake ../src/kile -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=$HOME/kile-usermenu/install/include/ -
DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kile-usermenu/install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug"
make install -j 2
---end---
Then, the following lines have to be copied to a file "$HOME/kile-
usermenu/run.sh":
---begin---
#!/bin/sh
export KDEDIRS=$HOME/kile-usermenu/install/:$KDEDIRS
export KDEHOME=$HOME/kile-usermenu/.kde
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/kile-usermenu/install/lib64:$HOME/kile-
usermenu/install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
kbuildsycoca4
$HOME/kile-usermenu/install/bin/kile
---end---
You have to set the correct permissions for the script "run.sh":
---begin---
chmod +x $HOME/kile-usermenu/run.sh
---end---
and this local version of Kile can be started with:
---begin---
$HOME/kile-usermenu/run.sh
---end---
If the source code was updated, you have to pull the new code
---begin---
cd $HOME/kile-usermenu
cd src/kile
git pull
---end---
compile it
---begin---
cd $HOME/kile-usermenu/build-kile
make -j 2
---end---
and copy the new executable file to its place
---begin---
cp src/kile $HOME/kile-usermenu/install/bin
---end---
That' all. Run Kile and you will see that
- old user defined tags are transformed and then placed into this new usermenu.
- you can change existing or create new menus with a comfortable usermenu
wizard. Please take a look at the help button to get some more information.
- you can install different menus at runtime for different tasks. If you want an
example to understand action parameter, install 'example.xml' menu file and use
the usermenu wizard to see, how it was implemented.
I'm looking forward to reading your comments.

Can you please report this to the KDE on Windows mailing list (kde-windows@...)?
This is definitely a problem with the package that they provide (in the sense that
the dependency on KatePart is missing).
Thanks,
Michel

Hi,
I followed the tutorial here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/kile/index.php?title=KileOnWindows
When I tried to start Kile it complained that no editor is present (I
did not write down the exact text of the message) and there was no input
window. Creating new documents did not change anything.
After installing Kate Kile works as expected.
Can anyone confirm that? Instructions should be maybe updated.

Yes, that seems reasonable, but it should probably be made configurable.

That should be fixed now as well. There is currently no pre-defined shortcut for
that action, but you can easily assign one now in Settings / Configure
Shortcuts.

Thanks for testing! I'm currently still unhappy with its performance on large
documents. Some more work has to be done there.
Thanks again,
Michel

Hi,
first of all, thanks a lot for working on Kile, which is an excellent
tool to write papers, theses etc. in Latex.
Yesterday I read the announcement of the live preview feature and
couldn't resist... As I am writing a paper, I compiled kile from the
live-preview branch and I am testing the new feature :-)
Some observations:
- the "Synchronize cursor position with preview document" button seems
not to work: whether it is pressed or not, the preview document always
follows the cursor position
- when the "Live Preview for Current Document" toggle is off, the
preview document disappears. I think it would be very useful to leave
the preview document visible even when the live preview feature is off
- I didn't find a shortcut for the live preview toggle. I believe a
shortcut would be useful as well
So far (a few hours of testing), the live preview feature seems to
work well. If I find problems or have some comments, I will email them.
Thanks,
Stefano
